Although it has the retro cool factor, it's something only the internet would typically appreciate.

Bit of a rolling project to keep me occupied as progress on my Nova is a bit slow.

Who was that?
I found a build thread for it on MK2VR6.com
Just shows whoever built it, stripping it bare, painting inside, outside, engine bay etc.
I'm the 3rd owner down this way, bought it off a young lad i know who couldnt insure it properly, and he bought it off one of my mates who's currently banned.
Ah, must have passed hands more than I thought The owner along this way was Colin Neilson. Some of the bodges I've seen have been eye openers

Like the car, like the engine. Just hope the colour doesn't attract the wrong attention!

Fuck, you've got me worried now lol.
From what i can make out it was only built around a year ago, going by the thread date on MK2 VR6?

Sorry mate I don't think he actually made any modifications to it. I'm just going off the EK he swapped with my mate that had some horrid repairs.

Love it agreed about lowering the back to match the front though...rather than the other way around. Probably the weight of the engine

The back was raised to stop it shredding tyres.
Have lifted the front a little more today (15mm of the threads) needs to come up a little more.
